Zhao Ying raised her hand to interrupt, "Don't worry, I will pay every penny of the principal and interest..."
"No, the silver is not mine..."
"Whose is that?"
Shangguan Zhu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Ying, "No matter who it belongs to, I gave it to you, just go and return it to that person!"
Shangguan Zhu: ...
Shangguan Zhu said sternly, "Princess, I don't want to talk to you about the silver. I want to talk to you about the jade pendant!"
"Is there any difference?" Zhao Ying was surprised.
“Of course there is a difference!”
Shangguan Zhu was a little excited and his voice was getting louder. Zhao Ying thought that this kid must be feeling very upset and depressed for a long time because he had been owed a bag of silver for so long. As the debtor, she was in the wrong and should give him a chance to vent.
Zhao Ying said good-temperedly, "Well, you go ahead and I'm listening."
"Princess..." Shangguan Zhu calmed down and said in a low voice, "This jade pendant is not mine, but my brother's..."
Zhao Ying's expression was startled. Is it really Shangguan Shu's?
When she first saw it, she thought it was an heirloom passed down from generation to generation in the Shangguan family. How could she not remember this jade pendant? Shangguan Shu used to carry it with him, and he used this jade pendant to open his secret room!
How did Shangguan Shu’s jade pendant end up in Shangguan Zhu’s hands?
No, no, according to Shangguan Zhu, this jade pendant originally belonged to her, and later she gave it to Shangguan Shu... Thinking of this, Zhao Ying felt a little strange. She didn't expect Shangguan Shu to carry her jade pendant with him. Humph, was he trying to confuse her with this?
Unfortunately, she miscalculated. She had so many jade ornaments that she had forgotten this one long ago.
Behind the bamboo fence, Shangguan Dan asked curiously, "Big Brother, which jade pendant do you have? What on earth is Second Brother going to do?"
Shangguan Shu's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he stared at Shangguan Zhu. His jade pendant had been left in the study when he was kicked out of the house. What did Shangguan Zhu use it to look for Zhao Ying for?
Seeing that Shangguan Shu didn't answer, Shangguan Dan felt bored and shut up and continued watching.
"Princess, you must be curious about how this jade pendant, which should have belonged to my eldest brother, ended up in my hands. Let me tell you a story!"
Zhao Ying resisted the urge to scratch his head and agreed.
Seeing this, Shangguan Zhu raised the corners of his lips and his eyes were tender and affectionate, which made Zhao Ying sigh. In order to get the money back, Shangguan Zhu was really trying his best.
Shangguan Zhu opened his mouth, "There was once a boy who, ever since he could remember, often heard people around him praise a woman. They praised her for her stunning beauty, noble dignity, intelligence, and kindness... Countless words of praise were lavished on her, but he didn't believe it. He felt that there was no way such a perfect woman could exist in the world. Until the day when that woman came of age, he paid homage to her in front of His Majesty. One glance at her, and his heart was overwhelmed..."
Shangguan Zhu looked at Zhao Ying affectionately. Zhao Ying was stunned and had a bad feeling in her heart.
The next second, Shangguan Zhu said, "Princess, that boy is me, and that girl is you!"
boom!
Snap!
Zhao Ying was dumbfounded and could hardly believe her ears. She blinked and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Behind the bamboo forest, three crackling thunders struck Shangguan Shu, Shangguan Dan and Shangguan Qingyue, leaving them stunned.
Shangguan Dan muttered to himself, "What did Second Brother mean?"
Shangguan Shu was petrified on the spot, and the confused thoughts in his mind finally became clear.
He knew why Shangguan Zhu repeatedly opposed him and Zhao Ying!
I also know why he protected Zhao Yao and spoke for Zhao Yao!
I also know why the jade pendant fell into his hands...
Shangguan Zhu has evil intentions towards Zhao Ying...
Hmm... Shangguan Shu suddenly covered his chest, and a bloody smell rushed into his throat.
He stared at Shangguan Zhu, his eyes filled with a mixture of understanding, anger, fear and a flash of disgust, extremely complicated.
No matter how careful you are, you can’t guard against a thief in your own home!
He had been on guard against Wei Fu for half his life, but he never expected that the danger would come from his own brother!
Hidden too deeply!
He didn't even notice!
And the next second, Shangguan Qingyue's voice made Shangguan Shu even more upset.
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes widened as he suddenly realized something. [Oh shit, I get it!]
[So that's how it is! So that's how it is!]
[My second uncle has a crush on my mother! ]
I was wondering why Second Uncle wanted to help Mother escape in the original story. I thought he was worried about Mother influencing Father, but I didn't expect he had selfish motives!!
[Tsk tsk... This is so exciting! Ahhhh, should I tell Daddy? Mom suddenly escaped after being imprisoned by him for six months. Daddy was furious because of this. No god or Buddha could stop her. At first, he thought it was Uncle Crown Prince who rescued her. He stabbed the current Queen to death with a sword. Later, he thought it was Aunt Huai'an who did it. He threatened to chop off one of her fingers if she didn't hand over Mom. In the end, after Aunt Huai'an had chopped off all her fingers, Daddy finally believed that Mom's escape had nothing to do with Aunt Huai'an.]
【It was my second uncle who did it! 】
"If I tell Daddy, someone might die tonight... It's so bloody and scary..."
Shangguan Dan grinned and glanced at Shangguan Qingyue, his eyes full of fear. He thought to himself, "Little devil, stop talking. Big brother has heard everything..."
Shangguan Dan slowly looked at Shangguan Shu. When he saw the clenched and creaking iron fist under him, he turned his head woodenly and his tall body trembled.
…
Zhao Ying recovered, but still didn't want to believe the absurd reality before her. She asked tentatively, "You mean..."
Having said that, Shangguan Zhu had nothing to hide. He looked at Zhao Ying seriously and said, "Princess, I have admired you for many years!"
Zhao Ying: ...
My goodness, what kind of hatred or grudge is this? Why did this weird thing happen to her?
